Elderflower Snow-jito: A Frosty Twist on a Mojito Favourite

Cool, crisp, and sparkling with winter charm, the Elderflower Snow-jito is your new go-to festive serve. A seasonal spin on the classic mojito, this cocktail swaps out soda water for the delicate florals of Double Dutch Elderflower Tonic Water and finishes with a snowy dusting of icing sugar. With light rum, lime, mint, and elderflower all coming together in one refreshing sip, it’s a bright and beautiful way to add sparkle to your winter celebrations.

The Elderflower Snow-jito delivers freshness with flair. Light rum brings smooth sweetness and tropical depth, while lime and mint provide the familiar mojito lift. But what truly transforms this drink into something seasonally spectacular is the addition of Double Dutch Elderflower Tonic Water — its floral notes enhance the mint and lime beautifully, giving this cocktail a more refined and aromatic finish.

Why We Love It

This is a mojito, but dressed for winter. The Elderflower Snow-jito offers all the refreshment of a summer serve, with just the right festive twist to make it shine during the colder months. The elderflower gives it elegance, the mint keeps it cooling and crisp, and the icing sugar topping adds a playful nod to frosty weather — like the first snowflake on a holly sprig.

Perfect For…

This cocktail is perfect for winter brunches, holiday house parties, or as a refreshing palate cleanser at festive dinners. It’s great for those who enjoy light, botanical flavours and want a break from heavier or overly sweet seasonal drinks. Whether served in a highball or rocks glass, the Elderflower Snow-jito always looks gorgeous — and tastes even better.

Double Dutch Mixer Match

Double Dutch Elderflower Tonic is the floral, fragrant hero of this serve. Its light botanical notes perfectly complement the citrusy lime and fresh mint, creating a drink that’s elegant, well-balanced, and just a little bit magical. Plus, the subtle quinine backbone gives the drink structure without any bitterness — ideal for those who want a tonic-based drink with a gentler edge.

Top Tips for Serving

• Use crushed ice or small cubes: This keeps the drink ultra-refreshing and helps infuse the mint.
• Go big on the mint: A large, fragrant sprig adds visual drama and brings out the elderflower notes beautifully.
• Dust with icing sugar: A light snowy sprinkle over the mint gives this drink its “snow-jito” name — and major festive points.

Whether you're looking to refresh your winter cocktail game or bring a little seasonal sparkle to the classics, the Elderflower Snow-jito is the perfect balance of cool, crisp and beautifully botanical. It’s a cocktail that feels like a breath of fresh air — even on the frostiest of days.
